I'm sitting here flipping through 

Excuses for why I shouldn't call you 

Every muscle, every fibre, 

Every hair object to the very idea 

I just can't put my finger on 

However hard I try to slap away the halo around you 

Still it lingers and abruptly 

Without warning bitter memories appear 



When I think on it for long enough 

Of all the time we wasted on each other's love 

It's a wonder that I still believe the sun is coming up tomorrow 

What was once so fine, has been broken and burned 

So I wait here in the dark, for the light to return 



Blinded, I was blinded 'til I knew only the good love survives 

Blinded, 'til I understood that only the good love survives 

Only the good love survives 

But we were only wasting time 

But we were only wasting time 



All those wringing hands 

And cheap ideas we could reason as failures

But to run it through again 

Would only serve to do nobody no good 

So let the universe decide 

How we can loosen all the knots and tangled ways we came to 

And resolve to never speak of it again 

Oh love if only we could 



When I think on it for long enough 

Of all the time we wasted on each other's love 

It's a wonder that I still believe the sun is coming up tomorrow 



What was once so fine, has been broken and burned 

So I wait here in the dark, for the light to return 

Blinded, I was blinded 'til I knew only the good love survives 

Blinded, 'til I understood that only the good love survives, 

Only the good love survives 

But you and I were wasting time

But you and I were wasting time
